Mr. Speaker. today I have introduced a bill to make immigration law fairer to people from other countries who wish to enter the United States to attend funerals of immediate family members. Our country has a proud tradition of providing humanitarian solace to those who are suffering. When relatives pass away it is often the family that provides strength and comfort during this time of loss. And those who live outside of the United States should be able to enter this country automatically to be with loved ones and properly grieve the loss. Mr. Speaker. current policy allows the parole of aliens for this purpose.
